Kew AND IKPORTANT OPINIONS
p OF PULMONARY EXPERTS
Can the Universal Consumption Be
Successfully Treated!

DR.. Borgeon, leading French doctor,
has new treatment for consumption.
He gives an enema of carbonic acid |
| sulphuretted hydrogen gases, the latter
gas carrying the former into every part
of the throat and lungs.
This treatment, too, is directed at
effects-the cause remains undisturbed. |
| What this caus els has been stated by
perhaps the highest pulmonary authority
/ in the world, L. e., the Brompton Hos
pital for Consumptiyes, in London, Eng.
/ This malady every year carries off from
one-seventh to one-tifth of the entire
population OF England!
Dr. Payne, Md, M.R.C.P., London, is
authority for this statement.
The same or a greater proportion OF
deaths obtains in America.
| DR.. Payne also says that one-half the
/ total number of deaths from all other
! causes have seeds of this disease in the
| system which only require some irritant
| to develop!
DR.. Hermann Brehmer, an eminent
German authority, says that consump-
1 ton is caused by deficient nutrition of
the lungs, by poor blood.
These authorities cannot be disputed.
The medical world recognizes them. The
uric acid is the irritant in the blood that
causes the development of the seeds
which DR.. Brehmer says lie dormant in
the blood.
Every particle of blood which passes
through the lungs and heart, also goes
through the kidneys, and if they are in
the least deranged they cannot rid the
blood of its killing poison. The thousand
little hair-like sewer tubes of the kidneys
very easily get blocked up and diseased;
L Al i !
Of purifying the blood. Kidney disease
may exist, and yet no pain occur in that
organ, because it is deficient in nerves Of
sensation.
Dip your finger in acid every day and
it soon testers and is destroyed. Send
acid poisoned blood through the lungs
every second, and they soon give way.
The Brompton Hospital investigation
showed that 81 per cent. of the victims
of consumption were afflicted with de-
ranged kidneys, which permitted the uric
acid poison to remain in the blood and
irritate the lungs. This uric acid is al
! ways fighting every vital organ, and if
there be any inherent weakness in the
lungs it inevitably causes pneumonia,
cough and consumption.
The real cause of pulmonary troubles
being SO authoritatively shown to be
faulty even though unsuspectedacti of
the kidneys, explains why, in order to
master the dreaded consumption, one
must rid the blood of the uric acid irri-
tant which infiames and burns up the
lung substance For this purpose there
e is nothing equal to that great specific,
Warmers safe cure. This remedy has
now the favor of medical men all over
: the world purely on its merits. We have
no doubt that if the Kidneys are kept in
natural action, consumption and great
$ many other diseases, caused by uric acid,
will not only be cured but will be pre-
i vented.
! When the kidney is healthy, no albu-
men appears in the water, but albumen
) is found in the water of more than half
. OF those who die of consumption!
This, then, is the condition of things
l. that always precedes consumption !:
c First, weakened kidneys; second, re-
tanned uric acid, poisoning the blood +;
third, the development of disease in
d the lungs by the irritant acids passing
through them. Then there is a little
4 cough in the morning. soon thick, yellow
o matter is spit up, followed by loss OF
3 flesh and strength, with dreadful night
l sweats; and when the patient goes to his
S school physician for help, he is put on
cod-liver oil which his stomach, weak.
S ened also by uric acid in the blood, can
e not digest. Because there is no pain
:, present in the kidneys, the patient does
Il not think they are affected, but the kid
J. ney acid is doing its work every minute,
every hour, day and night, and by-and-by
: the disease of the lungs has advanced
l. until pus is developed, then come hemor-
!, rhages, and at last the CLASSY stare which
Il denotes that the end is nearl
e A post-mortem examination of such
cases shows that the terrible uric acid
. has completely destroyed the substance
IS of the lung.
1t is impossible to cure lung disease
. when the blood is poisoned with uric
e acid!
